Hmmm. I seem to recall the expat upgrade being similar for me too. |

Unless you receive good advice to the contrary, you could try doing |
| 20 |
what I eventually did: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
emerge -avuND world |
| 23 |
then |
| 24 |
emerge --skipfirst --resume |
| 25 |
as many times as needed to get to the end. Mask and unmask stuff |
| 26 |
manually as required. Eventually it all ends :-) and you are left with |
| 27 |
a consistent system. The final test is to run: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
emerge -avuND world |
| 30 |
emerge -av --depclean |
| 31 |
revdep-rebuild -p -i |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
and all three should result in nothing to do. |
